"Bastia provides an invaluable contribution to the gender and migration literature by combining a transnational multi-scalar south-south perspective on migration with a nuanced reading of the intersectionality of gender, class, and ethnicity. By tracing Bolivian migrants’ personal networks across borders and continents, this book fruitfully expands queries about the relationships between gender and structures of unequal power. Gender, Migration and Social Transformation is a significant addition to our understanding of the complex diversity and fluidity of "transnational communities," migrant neighborhoods and urban citizenship in the face of ongoing economic and political restructuring."
- Nina Glick Schiller, Senior Research Associate at Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany
"This is a compelling account of social transformation and the nature of gendered migrations in Bolivia. Drawing on extensive and valuable ethnographic fieldwork over a period of over two decades and spanning continents, this volume offers a rich understanding of how gender, class and ethnicity intersect in shifting contexts to produce migration. Organised around key thematics like care, intimacy and work Bastia draws us into the lives of her participants with rare empirical acuity and analytical insight. The book is a wonderful read!"
- Parvati Raghuram, Professorof Geography and Migration at the Open University, United Kingdom
"Bastia’s book begins with a classic inquiry of how gender is renegotiated through migration, but several key innovations—bringing a transnational and intersectional lens, and comparing South to South migration with a South to North migration flow from the same point of origin in Bolivia—complicate the answer. With multi-sited ethnography conducted in Bolivia, Argentina and Spain, the author concludes that gender inequality remains constant, while modest class mobility is the primary transformation. An important contribution to the study of diverse Latin American transnational migrations."

"The book is written in a light style, that is to say, it is not overly weighed down with technicalities. It reviews the most basic formulas and their performances in various settings and thus supplies a handy overview of the diffusion theory in action. An impressive attempt is made in Part II to provide a guided tour of diffusions in the quantum setting. The book should be mostly useful for physicists interested in getting first glimpses of diffusion theory."—Mathematical Reviews, August 2015
"Some chapters contain exercises that make the book useful for the beginners. But the other chapters can be interesting to the experts as well."—Yuri E. Gliklikh, Zentralblatt MATH 1295

"A fine history of the central views of mind. Highly recommended [for] upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." - D. M. Chirico, York College CUNY, USA, in CHOICE
"This volume is a pleasure to read and makes accessible a range of difficult topics by staying with a single (but large) philosophical and psychological problem and attempting to tease out a number of responses to this problem. This is a brilliant idea, and although I wish I had thought of this, I am glad that Lise and Michael Wallach did."- Hank Stam, Ph.D., University of Calgary, Canada

"For advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, the coverage in this volume is quite fine. I am impressed with the range of what is included here, both from psychology and various philosophic standpoints." - Kenneth J. Gergen, Ph.D., Swarthmore College, USA
"The Wallach's conclusion--constituting the eighth view of mind--is an ambitious synthesis of the preceding seven. [...] [T]he book represents a valuable contrbiution to attempts to clarify the most basic categories of psychological knowledge, and to make explicit the assumptions underlying them. It should be read by anyonei nterested in a clear and insightful overview of the diversity of prspects on 'the mind' that are currently influential. In our headlong rush to produce more psychological knowledge, the book provides a rare resource with which to reflect on what we are really doing."

"Langlois is as mysterious as Sam Spade....The haunting beauty of this novel lies precisely in its lacunae. This is a book rich with details . . . everything except what we are most longing to know, Langlois&rsquo;s thoughts. We must do all the work ourselves.&rdquo; &mdash;Edmund White, The New York Review of Books&ldquo;Strange and disquieting . . . the twisting narrative reads like a game of telephone passed through generations, with Langlois at the center as a sort of legendary totem to the villagers.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;This immersive novel creates a memorably delirious sense of mystery, obsession, and altered perceptions.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus &ldquo;For Giono, literature and reality overlap the way that waves sweep over the shore, one ceaselessly refreshing the other and, in certain wondrous moments, giving it a glassy clearness.&rdquo; &mdash;Ryu Spaeth,&#160;The New Republic&#160;&ldquo;Giono&rsquo;s writing possesses a vigor, a surprising texture, a contagious joy, a sureness of touch and design, an arresting originality, and that sort of unfeigned strangeness that always goes along with sincerity when it escapes from the ruts of convention.&rdquo; &mdash;Andr&eacute; Gide, unpublished letter, 1929

"Architectural education holds an established place in universities throughout the globe and enjoys a clear and productive relationship with the professional practice of architecture. It has grown to become a rich and diverse discipline in which instruction in subjects ranging from the technologies of building to the history and theories of architecture sits alongside the central activity of the design studio. Alex Griffin’s study of the first formal school of architecture, the Académie Royale d’Architecture (1671-1793), offers the first detailed account of that institution and its relation to the architectural and political events of pre-revolutionary France, but also provides an invaluable historical perspective from which to view the scope and practices of education in the twenty-first century."
Dean Hawkes, Emeritus Professor, Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University and Emeritus Fellow, Darwin College, University of Cambridge,UK
"In this original and scholarly work, Dr Alex Griffin has written the first account of the Académie Royale d’Architecture in 17th and 18th century Paris, the first school of architecture that adopted a formal educational curriculum. The work is unique in contextualising the development of architectural education at a time of significant cultural change, during the Enlightenment period when architecture was immersed in scientific and artistic debates about the veracity and universality of the classical canon. In addition to providing historical commentary on the academy itself and its membership, Dr Griffin’s book is also of value in exploring the often-nuanced philosophical disputes that surrounded the issue of architectural ‘style’, and how this was manifested in design work. Such debates provided a useful theoretical resource for design entries to the Grand-prix competition that facilitated the creation of an elite group of architectural practitioners and theoreticians. Besides being an important historical investigation, Alex Griffin’s book is also instructive in prompting critical reflection on contemporary architectural education, giving scope to a much-needed debate about the future of the architectural profession in an age of radical change and uncertainty." 
Nicholas Temple, Professor of Architecture, University of Huddersfield, UK

&ldquo;Lively and learned. . . . Brands has produced a narrative that pulsates vigorously. . . . The three senators wear themselves out and all but die on the job, their respective causes still unresolved, their long public service having earned them fame, but not the political prize for which they most lusted: the presidency (though not for want of trying).&rdquo; &mdash;Harold Holzer, Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;A historical spellbinder. . . . A lively, vivid, and thoroughly researched account of a time when discord gripped the nation and wouldn&rsquo;t let go.&rdquo; &mdash;David Holahan, Christian Science Monitor &#160; &ldquo;Brands&rsquo;s easy prose and superior, simple organization makes this work an engrossing, entertaining, and educating read on issues important then that echo today in the modern debate on the limits of federal government power.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Davis, New York Journal of Books&ldquo;They were called &lsquo;The Great Triumvirate&rsquo;&mdash;three senators whose rivalries, alliances, and work in the tumultuous battles of the 19th century profoundly influenced the course of American history.

W. Brands has brought us a searching and excellent account of three legendary Americans whose leadership and rivalries did so much to shape the period of our history between that of the Founders and the Civil War. Heirs of the Founders should remind&#160;those of our own time how important Clay, Calhoun, and Webster are to the nation we live in today.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Beschloss, author of Presidents of War &#160; &ldquo;H. W. Brands, with his characteristic combination of sweep and eye for detail, tells the story&mdash;always exciting, often inspiring, ultimately tragic&mdash;of the titans who tried to guide the handiwork of the Founding Fathers through the turbulent first half of the nineteenth century. He weaves a cautionary tale for our own time of troubles.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Brookhiser, author of John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court&ldquo;Brands uses the life stories of three consequential early-19th-century American politicians&mdash;all with unfulfilled aspirations to become president&mdash;to show how tensions inherent in the founding fathers&rsquo; vision of the country led to the calamity of the Civil War. . . . This fascinating history illuminates rifts that still plague the country today.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;An engrossing and revealing account of personal rivalries that played out on a national scale.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist

Advance praise for The Ladies' Man"Elinor Lipman is that rarest of things, a charming and funny writer who is also very wise. But your spouse will hate&#160;&#160; you for reading this book; you'll stay up late nights, shaking the bed with laughter."--Arthur Golden "I have not read an American writer who can do what Elinor Lipman does: take a poignant situation and transform it, in a moment of instant recognition, into something as wryly perfect as a New Yorker cartoon. The Ladies' Man is full of charm, verbal sparkle, and funny, genial sex. I adored it.
